Crucial MX300 M.2 525GB SSD Review

The M.2 2280 format of the Crucial MX300 525GB SSD is also featuring 3D TLC NAND, but comes with higher capacity packages. The same Marvell 88SS1074 quad-channel controller can be spotted on the PCB, along with a 512MB LPDDR3 RAM chip which acts as cache. The product does have thermal protection and thanks to the onboard capacitors it also sports power loss protection; thanks to the controller, MX300 also incorporates Dynamic Write Acceleration, Data Defense and RAIN technologies, AES 256-bit disk encryption but also DEVSLP power mode which saves power when installed on battery-powered devices.
